nordost heimdall speaker cable

I bought this cable a week ago and have been playing it non stop. It has about 170-175 hours on it. it has settled down a little but I find the cymbals have a slight edge to them. How long will it take to take the edge off or is it a characteristic of this cable? Thanks.

When I hear a little edge to the highs with my Frey SC I give them a wipe down with Eco3. Any antistatic spray should also work.

It has been my experience that the highs are the last to settle in when changing cables. I would give them a few more days with dynamic music playing 24/7.

Do you have them on supports or near any source of stray EMI/RFI, crossing powercords etc?

I owned the heimdalls for a couple of years and thought they were a very good cable. That being said I would not of complained if they were a little easier on the ears. Good luck

The Heimdall Series 1 does not sugar coat anything, if you system has some edge, that will show through. I have read that the Series 2 are a bit more forgiving.

Just to update. After running the cable upto 200 hours I am not hearing the edge. Just needed more run in. Thanks to you all for your comments.
